Tweeted Nalin Haley, quoted in
"One Haley Who Isn’t Afraid to Let Insults Fly
Nikki Haley’s 22-year-old son, Nalin, has hit the campaign trail and is taking shots at his mother’s political attackers" (NYT).
Nalin, who obscures his own hairline with massive bangs...
... even as high-foreheaded folk lurk behind him, doubles down on the receding-hairline theme:
Ha ha. Hilarious. Are we allowed to make fun of how people look? More importantly, should candidates unleash their handsome offspring to hurl insults at their parent's opponents? If the answer is yes, then tremble at the thought of Trump releasing the Barron. But who can imagine Barron launching out onto the political landscape with blithe insults and memes? When Barron springs forth it will be with grandeur and momentousness... won't it?

She should be thankful she still has political attackers. TBH it sounds like something her campaign cooked up…
"Are we allowed to make fun of how people look?"
Insults are only OK when they go in one direction. Otherwise they are mean and uncouth.
It was predicted in 2015 that Barron would be the mation's first home-school shooter, back when there were good insults.
Haley's campaign responds by swinging wildly.
Desperation, noun: a state of despair, typically one which results in rash or extreme behavior.
Who is this "Haley" and her son, of whom you write? Are we supposed to know who this person is? Has "Haley" done anything deserving of the attention of the US public? Imma google that name, it seems you expect me to acknowledge that she has some reason to be known. Darn if I can see why, though.
Just a few days back you expected your readers to be familiar with some nobody named "Kennedy" for whatever reason, and now this poor "Haley" appears. Seems to be blog fodder for a Trivial Pursuit game.
"it's OK when we do it." - our side, the good guys, you know?
This is how people become people who used to have a bright future.
The real question is why did the esteemed New York Times find this so newsworthy.
But of course we know the answer to that, don’t we.
what position is Nikki shooting for?
she spent the last year insulting and alienating MOST republicans; so it can't be a republican position
Think about it? Her actions only make sense if they lead to something.
I'm Starting to think, that she's hoping for the VP slot.. The Democrat VP slot.
Input, anyone? WHAT does Nikki think she'll gain with her actions?
I wasn't paying attention to Haley's campaign. Why would I? The only advocates for her seem to live at the NYTimes and the WaPost.
Someone who looks as odd as Nalin Haley should probably not mock how others look.
...even as high-foreheaded folk lurk behind him...
Classic. I like funny Althouse. There's a bite to it.
Nikki is counting on Never Trumpers. They are melting down, and it is so much fun to watch. So sick of Popcorn.
Haley is not doing herself any favors.
Tag: Smartphones and social media are making people stupid.
Trump's rudeness and insults made it "okay" to call out physical appearance in many minds. See the giant inflatable "Baby Trump" balloon.
This continues the general decline in what we used to call maturity, or the common way that people used to interact. When was the last time you heard someone say "Pardon my French"?

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware we were still in Republican (or Democrat) primary season.
With no father around to protect his mother, the son steps into the breach.
No humans involved
Please. Literally no one who is voting in GOP primaries is paying any attention to Nikki Haley any longer. That boat has long since sailed. Hell...she was finished before DeSantis dropped out.
The only people paying attention to Nikki Haley are the same people who somehow find it interesting to talk about QAnon. That is, various people on the Left. No one on the right talks about either topic.
For what it's worth.
It looks lame when this guy does it, just like it looks lame when Don Jr. does it. Yappy little attack dogs.
"Someone help me spot the difference I’m having trouble…"
My response (if I were on X) would be:
"That's easy, Nalin. The one on the left is Vivek Ramaswamy. The one on the right is your mother."
Too easy
So how is Nikki "Second to none!" Haley doing in the SC polls?
A couple days ago she was around 30% and PEDJT was around 60
John Henry
Ahead of the Feb. 24 GOP primary, the poll shows 65 percent of likely voters in the state would vote for Trump, which is a 36 percent lead over Haley. Out of Republican voters, an overwhelming 72 percent would vote for Trump.
65/29 according to politico yesterday https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/14/trump-haley-south-carolina-poll-00141450
But hey, nobody is better than Nikki
John Henry
Is it any wonder the GOP is the loser party?
I thought the reason Brandon was elected was to usher in the "No mean tweets" era.
Well, I haven't heard Vivek insulting any of the candidates since he got off the campaign trail. I remember he got in a zinger or too on Nikki, but that was a long time ago. Nikki's son is a little slow, isn't he?
Well, the example one isn't any good. . . . .
The NYT trying its hardest to boost the latest campaign signal of their dem-funded fake republican running as a republican...and failing.
Didn't two staffers swear in depositions they shagged Nalin Haley's mom in the back of an SUV while his dad was overseas serving?
I'd be careful if I was him. The "that's what your mom said" jokes on this one write themselves.
Are we allowed to make fun of how people look?
If the people targeted are Republicans, then yes. You should know that by now.
One is a fairly brilliant Republican. The other is the creature that lives in Bidens brain.
Everybody wants John Stewart Privilege. Clown nose on, clown nose off.
I'm joking! But maybe not! No, now I'm joking again! You can't hold me to my words, I'm a jokester!
That's why Biden* tweets Darth Brandon memes, and has over the top campy interns push his "policies." What, you're going to rebut a joke? Sucker!
The adults are in the room. In the corner, cashing checks and watching their adolescent offspring do their dirty work.
Still a free country, so the kid can tweet insults if he likes. But he and his mother better be ready for the blowback. I don’t wanna hear that “leave my kids out of the campaign” nonsense.
You don’t get to play that card when your kid starts it. FAFO.
Nalin needs to watch some old Don Rickles clips to get a better understanding of how it’s supposed to be done.
These tweets are from November.
Heck, Guttfeld makes fun of Ramaswamy's forehead when he's on the Guttfeld panel.
Nalin, who obscures his own hairline with massive bangs...
The way those bangs look, Ramaswamy should call him Merkin Haley instead of Nalin Haley.

One big difference is that Trump's sons have been the subject of sustained lawfare attacks.
Stop trying to make Nikki happen!
Nikki seems to be ignoring the first rule of holes.
I remember when Haley went ballistic screeching at Ramaswamy "do NOT bring my children into this" for mentioning her family was using TikTok. Now her son is inserting himself into the campaign. In a nasty way. With far less wit than even Trump uses routinely. To coin a phrase it seems as if chaos follows Nikki around, as if some cosmic force makes her and her family do stupid desperate shit, like blame Trump for the Woke Armed Services recruiting problem. Let's keep that weirdness as far from the White House as possible then.
Unless of course she is angling to replace Biden at the NeverTrumper/DNC convention. Then I endorse her as the replacement Michelle. At least she'll be honestly going after her natural base in that scenario, the drifting Hillary neocon voter.
I've seen a lot of this kind of thing from the crowd that claims to deplore Trump's name-calling and mean tweets.
None of the other politicians can deliver a funny and appropriate insult with the aplomb and skill of Trump. They shouldn't even try.....There doesn't seem to be much in the way of east Indian solidarity. Vivek and the Haley went out of their way to insult each other with special malice.....I wonder how the dynamics of Asian ethnicity works. Chinese and Japanese have no love for each other back in the old country, but here they look alike and most people can't parse the difference. Does the enmity still exist here? Will Asians go the way of whites and vote their economics or whatever rather than their ethnicity....I'm third generation Irish and don't hold any particular grudges against WASP's. I wouldn't vote for Biden because he's Irish, but neither is it a cause of my antipathy towards him. It was a big deal with JFK, but all that's in the past.
Birches, that made me laugh. But I love Mean Girls.
Two observations:
1) People keep saying they prefer mean tweets, and Haley does not want to disappoint.
2) The epithet "birdbrain" struck, struck hard, and struck for a reason.
Definitely lowbrow.
LOL, I am sure that the Democrats would never use this in the general"
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/once-a-cheater-always-a-cheater-internet-trolls-nikki-haley-after-gop-presidential-candidates-extramarital-affair-allegations-resurface/ar-BB1gZcGm
You have to read down a little bit to get to the actual affidavit, which is pretty interesting, as far as accounts of plain old pedestrian adultery while Hubby is off serving in uniform go. After all, it's a tale as old as time.
Next comes the wailing of leftist when this kid gets attacked by President Trump, defending himself.
I thought it was the photo of the guy that beat up the cops in Times Square and double-flipped everyone off.
Vivek's haircut does him no favors...always reminded me of Beavis or Butthead...don't know which is which...
The good news is, he just opened himself up to being attacked.
Great work!
'2) The epithet "birdbrain" struck, struck hard, and struck for a reason.'
The birdbrain doesn't fall far from the nest...
Nice of the son to revive Vivek as an opponent to his mother after Vivek left the campaign.
And to the amusing calls for Haley to be the VP pick, well, imagine this kid out there tweeting during the administration.
Haley’s husband is bald and short. Does her son really want to get into hairlines?
The Son is short too. He’s got hair for now.
It’s dumb for him to get involved in this. His mom is wealthy now and her political career is over. Just cash the checks.
Haley is likely to lose her own state’s primary by about 2:1. She and her son trying to show that they can be every bit as rude as Donald Trump at his worst won’t help. After the people in her home state — the people who know her best — send her off to ignominious defeat, will she move to her natural home, which is the Democrat Party?
I doubt this will go well for Nalin. Just looking at the picture, I doubt his background is clean enough for those that are already digging through his past social media. Not when his mom has made plenty of missteps and misspoke many times.
Nikki and Lizzy should run together as the Democrats they are. They can take Adam, Mitch and Mitt (not to mention Susan, Lisa, and all the other Never Trumpers) with them!!
I prefer to learn from other peoples mistakes, this and Fanni warn me to let go when I loose and don’t be a cretin.
As an example of what I mean about Donald Trump, he tried to make an issue of Haley’s husband not being with her on the campaign trail. First, if spouses are supposed to be with the candidates on the campaign trail, then where’s Melania? Secondly, Major Michael Haley is deployed overseas. Now a Democrat can get away with mocking a deployed soldier, but it’s normally fatal for the candidacy of an ordinary Republican. See what I mean about Trump’s lack of political instincts? But I retired into a blue collar neighborhood, and what I’m picking up from my neighbors is that Bidenomics has hit them and their families hard, and they see Trump as the only person with the brass balls enough to take on the federal establishment that hates the middle and working classes with a drooling passion and the only person with the economic knowledge to fix what Bidenomics broke.
A note for the lefty trolls who push cherry-picked statistics and estimated statistics from formerly trusted federal agencies that will later “unexpectedly” be forced to revise those figures upward (unemployment, inflation rates) or downward (average wages) when reality catches up. You might sneer at working people, but they’ve got your number.
Handsome?
Handsome?
"You might sneer at working people, but they’ve got your number."
One thing that humans are pretty good at figuring out is when it is their ox that is being gored.
2) The epithet "birdbrain" struck, struck hard, and struck for a reason.

Ayn Rand discusses what she called 'Crow Epistemology'
any connection?
First I've heard of this guy. This Haley character. Now that he's shown himself to be an immature asshole, I hope to never hear of him again.
One can learn a lot about parents simply by observing their offspring. As if Nikki Haley needs to look worse to the voters.
These tweets are from November.
And the story is in today's NYT.
Perhaps Master Nalin is using those stupid bangs to disguise an H. erectus forehead. Ugh, Nalin. Say ugh! for the nice folks.
"One can learn a lot about parents simply by observing their offspring."
Well shit, that's about the nicest compliment I have ever heard! I mean, I know you weren't directing it at me but I'll take it that way. Sadly, I do believe that children are their own people and parents can only take a tiny bit of credit when they do well, and perhaps a bit more blame when the kids go wrong.
Big Mike--Do ya think that maybe Trump was making Haley's husband an issue because he...knows something?
It's not nice. But it's not stupid.
It's not nice. But it's not stupid.
It might be. And disrespecting deployed soldier is not a what I'd like to see in a potential President.
Nailin' Haley.
Just to clarify, I will vote for Donald Trump over any Democrat this November. He’s not a likeable man, and he was too easily flim-flammed by people like Fauci and Birx, who were clearly out to destroy his Presidency in 2020 no matter what the cost to the American people. However his economic and foreign policies are better than any Democrat’s.
Big Mike.

Trump steps on his own dick often. At some point some of us wonder - is he that dumb? or is he trying to get Crook Joe and the democxrats elected?
Big Mike - 6:50 agree.
Meanwhile - Trump has chased off all those horrible educated women voters. (and stay out!)
It's as if Trump thinks reducing his likability and pushing potential voters away, is a good thing. Very strange.
